How do I get Prefect to find a Class from another file? Getting a ModuleNotFound error.

[digitalghost-dev]

I am on Prefect v2.17.1 and when trying to run a file that imports a Class from a different file in the same directory, I am getting an error:

Finished in state Failed("Task run encountered an exception ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'authenticate'")

Here is the file structure:

.
└── data_pipelines/
    └── workday/
        └── current_year/
            └── expenses/
                ├── authenticate.py
                └── actuals.py

In the actuals.py file, I am trying to import it like so:

from authenticate import Authenticate

but I am getting that error. This is how I am creating the flow; I'm just importing the functions that need to run:

from prefect import flow, task

@task
def actuals_last_3_months():
    from data_pipelines.workday.current_year.expenses.actuals_01_last_3_months import upload_table
    from data_pipelines.workday.current_year.expenses.actuals_01_last_3_months import alter_columns

@flow
def actuals(name="Actuals"):
    a = actuals_last_3_months()

I ended up needing to import the absolute path:

from data_pipelines.workday.current_year.expenses.authenticate import Authenticate

@digitalghost-dev I believe a relative path in your actuals.py file might have worked also:

from .authenticate import Authenticate

(notice the dot before authenticate)

@cicdw - oh okay, thanks for pointing that out. I can try that as well.
